One of my great goals when I first started taking photographs or showing them publicly is that people might want one for over their desk. That's my goal.

All I've ever wanted to do was create freedom.

All the traumas I went through separating art from writing don't exist anymore. That's why I love being in rock 'n' roll. It's a whole life thing.

Not everything we do as artists has deep intent. If we push barriers, that's great, but sometimes we just do our work. Whether we make some kind of statement, consciously or unconsciously, we shouldn't take the innocence away from what we do.

I was always a tomboy as a kid. I always had boyfriends. I was just a regular girl growing up in the late '50s and early '60s, but I was never really attracted to what the girls were attracted to: makeup, my appearance, homemaking.

I think the film [Dream of Life] is life-affirming.

I was raised in rural south Jersey, and there was no culture there. There was a small library, and that was it. There was nothing else.
